@CP24 What should we do instead?

@cpeck3 Is the draft curriculum going to be used in 2024/2025? I looked at the grade 5 curriculum, which includes the study of ancient civilisations!?!?! I can't imagine students understanding these.

The Veterans Association Food Bank of Edmonton is almost open at 17220 107 Avenue. There is a bit of work left to do but they will be serving veterans who need support. Please donate to ensure our veterans have access to the food they need. #yeg

Is re-memory pertinent to #historicalthinking? #historyeducation

[Teaching Canada at War @TeachCanAtWar]

@ChrisKempshall Safe travels!

[Teaching Canada at War @TeachCanAtWar]

What do you think about this? Is this a form of #WW1 #commemoration? How can educators use this to begin a discussion with youth about #Bigideas related to the war? #historicalthinking #LegaciesFWW2019

[Teaching Canada at War @TeachCanAtWar]

A great question #historicalthinking #ethicaldimension

“What do some of the best defence and military minds around the world think about this? Do we have permanent global ‘peace in our time?’ ... What would a Third World War look like? And what could prevent it?” https://t.co/pKMSGqyJ2U

Are statistics important? What insights do they provide?

[The Royal Canadian Legion @RoyalCdnLegion]

Today, we Remember the 75th anniversary of D-Day and the more than 14,000 Canadian troops who were among those who landed on Juno Beach and fought their way inland. On June 6 alone, 340 Canadian lives were lost and 574 were wounded.

Lest we forget. #DDay75

@tmlittlewood An awesome opportunity! Congratulations!

Today marks the 104th anniversary of the ANZAC’s landings at Gallipoli. What does this poster reveal about the historical perspectives of the time?

[Canadian War Museum @CanWarMuseum]

#ANZACDay commemorates the landing of the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli on April 25, 1915. It is also the day on which Australia and New Zealand remember those who died in the subsequent conflicts in which both nations have been involved.

What are your reasons for your choice?

[Peter Doyle @ProfPeterDoyle]

Poll time. Out of interest, which of the following #WW1 #FWW #PGM #1WK museums in the Ypres Salient do you rate the highest? And why? (Just asking)

[Teaching Canada at War @TeachCanAtWar]

Why does Canada recognize April 9th annually as Vimy Day but does not recognize the dates of other First World War battles? #historyeducation

[Canadian War Museum @CanWarMuseum]

The Battle of Vimy Ridge, fought from April 9 to 12 1917, was a significant victory for the Canadian Corps. Over time, it became more than a battle. This sculpture is named The Spirit of Sacrifice, one of the virtues depicted at the Vimy Memorial.

An interesting read.

[Commonwealth War Graves @CWGC]

By 1944 much of Europe was occupied. Thousands of Commonwealth service personnel had become POWs and many would die - being commemorated by @CWGC. But captivity did not mean an end to resistance, as you can learn, here: https://t.co/qY8bwA6DQq #LegacyOfLiberation #GreatEscape75

[War Through Other Stuff @stuffofwar]

A mid-week question to our followers: What are your favourite war exhibitions - particularly those that reflect war through other stuff themes/topics - that you have seen and been to over the last 5 years? We're curious to know what people make of stuff of war exhibits/displays.

What does this reveal about Canadian #commemoration?
